180 gallon stocking, any input?

[pdandy]

I am in the process of building my 180 (6x2x2). All of my current stock in my 90 will be moving over plus ill be looking for a few new additions when it's all set up.

Here is the eventual stock:

1x purple rose queen
1x amphilophus lyonsi
7x clown loach
1x bristle nose pleco
1x pim. Pictus
2x pim. Ornatus
2x spotted Raphael
1x rope fish
4x nicaraguensis

Most of these fish are in my 90 atm except for the 2 pim. Ornatus and get along great. Does anyone see any problems in my future with this stocking?

seems fine to me quiet nice stocking aslong as the pims wont be too large to eat anything when you put them in i believe they max out at about 12' so other then that all looks good.

Aggression between lyonsi and the rose queen are the main thing to keep an eye on, but since they've been together a while, should work fine. Otherwise love the stocklist...great taste in catfish

Yeah the pictus is about maxed right now at 5". The ormatus will eventually get 12". I plan on getting them small. So it shouldn't be a problem. All of my other fish will be large by then. The loaches should be 4-5" by then and the nics are small but I only payed $1 a piece for them. So wont be worried if they get eaten.

Thanks! I love my cats.

The lyonsi gets chased every once in a while. Never had torn fins or anything. And that's in a 48"x18" footprint. Moving to a 72"x24" should help even more.

This is them now
